She further mentioned, “Every summer holiday was spent in Bombay or Delhi, reconnecting with our heritage. When I chose films over further studies, it was her ingenuity that shaped my path. She put a keen attention on the costumes for Junglee, ushering in a new era of cinematic fashion, and transformed the way make-up was approached in Indian cinema, with innovations that became the hallmark of my career”.
“But what truly defined Appaji was her devotion. Every success I have achieved is rooted in her sacrifices. She was a mother who gave not just life, but also purpose, structure, and infinite love. As I share this, I know no words can capture her charisma. Happy Birthday Appaji...no words would ever be enough when it comes to you, be at peace wherever you are”, she added.
Saira concluded by acknowledging that her mother’s sacrifices and love are the foundation of her own success.
